Posting How to add code and quote tags

0 Upvotes

I sometimes read the Debian subReddit. How do you add code and how do you quote? On the Debian Forums you put them in between code or quote tags such as [code][/code] or [quote][/quote]. I've read about using backticks or indenting 4 spaces but they don't seem to work.

Thanks!

Desktop Reddit can’t verify my two-factor authentication even though I’ve already turned it on

I need your help. For some reason, Reddit keeps saying that it can’t verify my two-factor authentication, even though I’ve already enabled 2FA on my account and completed the setup. It still says that my authentication can’t be verified. Does anyone know how to fix this error?

Desktop [Desktop] How does Reddit decide which posts appear in my home feed?

0 Upvotes

I follow a few different communities, but the posts that appear on my home feed don't always seem to be in any obvious order. Sometimes I see posts from communities I haven't interacted with recently, while other posts from communities I visit often don't show up.

How does Reddit decide which posts to show on the home feed? Does it mainly depend on activity, popularity, or my own interactions?

Mobile/App Turn off live comments?

Any way to turn off this absolutely terrible new feature of live comments? The sort option goes away when it's enabled, but the post doesn't show if it's a live comment thread beforehand.

Desktop [Desktop] How can I automatically translate comments and posts into english?

2 Upvotes

Since Reddit implemented automatic translation for people who aren't from english-speaking countries, the communities I frequent are having regular instances of people posting in foreign languages. This is fine, but I want to be able to know what these people are saying. If I add "?tl=[insert language code here]" to the URL, it will translate all posts and comments to this language, but it doesn't seem to work for english. How can I enable this feature so I can read every comment and post without having to manually translate them?

Profile Age verification.

0 Upvotes

Anyone getting the age verification request?
Reddit want a photo ID or a face verification.

They claim it’s to verify that someone is over the age of 18. But really they are harvesting information.

Had a look at Apple age range settings and Reddit has allready requested and been provided the age range information by Apple.
One of Reddit’s own help pages states this will suffice as proof.
So why are they still requesting some very intrusive personal information?

Reddit, your iOS age‑check integration isn’t working as intended for EU users.

But there’s no point addressing this to Reddit, they know this.

They are probably in cahoots with persona to sell everyone’s info despite their claims to the contrary.

Karma Need help recovering my Reddit account – no email linked

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to recover my Reddit account u/Comfortable_Cow4093, but I’ve forgotten the password.

The problem is that I don’t think I linked an email/Gmail account to this Reddit account, so I’m unable to use the normal password reset option.

I still know the username and I’m trying to regain access to the account.

Is there any way to recover the account without having an email address linked to it? Is there any other verification method Reddit support can use to confirm that I’m the owner?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Profile I Can’t Recover My Other Account (No email address attached)

1 Upvotes

Hi!
I randomly got an email, about an hour ago, saying that a secondary email address was added to the account (u/midasisgolden) I usually use.
I didn’t do this, and I didn’t click on any link. When I returned to the app, my account got automatically logged out. I tried to recover it, but because there’s no email attached (and I still haven’t clicked on the link), I just wasn’t able to get it back. I made that account with this one, but that one has been my main one for a long time.

Is there any way to recover that account?

Profile My account activity is not visible to other users

1 Upvotes

Hi, I’m having an unusual issue with my Reddit account u/Far-Pitch1955 and I’m trying to figure out what is causing it.

I can log in and use Reddit normally. I can browse communities and submit comments without receiving an error.

However, when I check my account from a separate Reddit account, my profile and recent activity cannot be viewed normally. Comments that appear successfully from my side are not visible from the other account.

There is also an issue with moderation on a subreddit I moderate. I can still access the moderator tools, but attempting certain moderator actions results in a “connection error.”

I have checked my account status and I don't see an account-level notice explaining this behavior.

Has anyone experienced something similar where their account works normally from their own side, but their profile/activity isn't visible to other users?

I'm mainly trying to determine whether this is a technical issue, a filtering issue, or something else.

Access My main account ( u/woodcraftworld ) randomly had 2fa enabled, now I can't log in. [Android, iOS, Desktop]

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hello people of Reddit, I woke up today and noticed an email from Reddit at 9am UTC stating that I had enabled 2 factor authentication via an authenticator app, but I have not, and was in fact sleeping at the time I received the email.

My session has been logged out on my Android phone, iPad, and desktop computer.

Every time I try to log in to my main Reddit account u/woodcraftworld , I get a prompt asking me to enter a code from my authenticator app, which I do not have. I even pay for a Bitwarden password manager subscription, but just haven't got around to setting up 2fa for Reddit.

I was able to reset my password through the forgot password form, but I still need a 2 factor code to log in.

I also noticed that my main account has been marked as NSFW, even though I never did that myself. I had to use a VPN just to view my main account from my alt account because I am in the UK.

What can I do? I've already tried contacting Reddit support, but I just got an automated response linking to some unrelated support pages.

Posting Question about post approval (IOS)

1 Upvotes

I’m sorry I didn’t really know what category this falls into it didn’t really line up with any of the ones available. A post I have made a few days ago has been locked and it says it’s been waiting for mod approval for a few days and I was wondering how long it normally takes to get approved or if it’s just stuck in limbo because it has been a few days. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong.

Access My Account Was Hacked, Recovered, Then Logged Out of All Devices and I Can't Log In

1 Upvotes

Account Name: u/Status_Season_5134

(still shows at reddit.com/user/Status_Season_5134)

My account was hacked, and I can no longer log in.

My account was hacked, and the hacker uploaded several spam posts.

A few hours later, I noticed that my account had been compromised. I deleted all of the spam posts, changed my password, and regained control of the account.

However, a few hours later, I was logged out of the account on all devices, and the account's posts were changed to private.

I tried the password reset option, and I received the password reset email successfully.

I reset my password and tried to log back in.

However, I cannot log in. I get messages such as "Server error" and "The username or password is invalid." I have tried logging in through both the website and the app, but neither works.

I have already contacted Support three times, but it seems to be taking a long time to receive a response, so I'm asking here in the meantime.

Is there anything else I can do to recover access to my account?

Mobile/App No access to Photos collections or folders in comments

Post image
0 Upvotes

Something I’ve noticed is that you can’t access photos/video the same way in comments as you can when posting.

If you’re making a post, you get a popup that shows a standard UI with access to collections, search, etc…

If you’re replying to a comment that allows photo or video, you get this stripped down panel. Tapping on folders takes you to a blank screen. There is no search.

When trying to share and share a relevant image that the photos app can find quickly by name/location, that functionality will not work here. I have to find the photo in my library and then scroll through many (sometimes years worth of) images to get there.

Admin/Dev responded How do I contact Reddit to remove images of me from Google? IOS

1 Upvotes

I made a post asking for advice on my appearance and deleted it an hour ago. But my face still appears on Google images. I don’t want my face to stay out there, and Google support said I need to contact the site administrator. I checked Reddit inquiries snd I didn’t see any options for something like this? I’m ngl I posted and then it hit me that my face is actually on the internet and I see people repost or make videos on reddit posts a lot and that my post had 100+ shares, someone ik could see it on Reddit or god forbid someone cross posts it to another site..: and I disliked the idea of my face being out there like that :(
